#CavEAT: Pandan Sambalilo Weaving and Handicrafts Center

wearing Sambalilo

As I continue to explore Cavinti, Laguna we headed next to Pandan Sambalilo Weaving and Handicrafts Center located in the covered basketball court of Cavinti, before reaching the town proper and operated by the Kalakal Cavinti Atbp. Coop. Products weave here are made of dried Pandan leaves which came from the nearby forests.  Sambalilo means straw woven hats which can be purchased directly from them at a very low price and  have your customized wholesale trucker hats for as low as Php35.  

For extra sporty like customized baseball hats or any sambalilo that you designed, yes, you can have your own stylish and colorful hats that could protect you from harmful UV rays or to complete your outfit. More so, if you wanted to visit the place or include this on your itinerary better talked to the Cavinti’s tourism officer so that they can assist you better. Meanwhile, if you also plan to buy their products, then I would strongly suggest that you coordinate with them as they might give discounts in bulk orders. By the way, their products are of best quality.

Well, I also got my own hat and styled with ribbons in yellow and pink. Thank you so much!
